confused about Polaroid. Which film for 330?

[lubitel]

Just got a Polaroid Automatic 330 yesterday, and I am trying to figure out which B&W film it works best with. Can anyone help? do i need packfilm? does it have to be iso 3000? If I use it with iso 3000 does that mean that the f-stop is always at f42? checking goolgle or Polaroid.com didnt bring much clarity to this.

thanks.

Hi. It has been a long, long time since I used my Polaroid automatic (250 model, I believe). The pack film of that size indeed comes in speeds other than 3000. Your best bet is to look through the slightly confusing Polaroid web site. I think you need to navigate through the "Professional" section to get to the film list. Pack film is rather difficult to find on photo shop shelves in my area anymore. So are the 3v batteries that my camera needs. I once had a lot of fun with my Polaroid but it has been a useless keepsake for many years not. Good luck to you and have fun!

I assume you found this page:

If my memory is still intact, I believe you can use any of the 3.25 x 4.25 Pack films. T-664 might be more to your liking @ 100 ASA???

For pack film ... by Fuji Brand ... its a bit less expensive and comes in a lighter pack
